Glenwood Regional Medical Center

A refreshing break for Team Glenwood! Today, our employees got to sample the new Coke Orange Cream and Dr Pepper Blackberry flavors, thanks to our friends at Coke.  A perfect mid-day treat and fun trying something new with our team. 

Last week, Glenwood Regional Medical Center, in partnership with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency LOPA, honored the incredible gift of life at our Wall of Heroes Ceremony. We proudly added six new photos of heroes and dedicated advocates for organ donation to our Wall of Heroes, located just outside our Intensive Care Unit on the 2nd floor. These inspiring individuals have left a legacy of hope, love, and second chances. April is Donate Life Month, a time to celebrate those who give the ultimate gift and to encourage others to say YES to organ donation. Thank you to the families, advocates, and team members who joined us in this touching tribute. Together, we make a difference! #glenwoodregionalmedicalcenter #grmc #glenwoodproud #donatelifemonth #MakingLifeHappen

It is with heavy hearts that our Glenwood Regional Medical Center family mourns the loss of Mr. Witty Hood, long-time board member and champion of our hospital. Mr. Hood was an integral part of our hospital community, advocating in the best interest of our patients and staff. His partnership with Glenwood’s leadership team helped guide the hospital through pivotal growth and expansion. We are forever grateful for his dedication, vision, and unwavering support. His impact on Glenwood and our community will continue to inspire us as we embrace the next chapter of our journey. We extend our deepest sympathy to the Hood family during their time of grief.
